Well.. I'm excited. And I put the money where my mouth is, and pre-ordered the damn thing (as already concisely posted in the DSi thread). Guess it won't be my main MP3 player though :P. But damn, those games..

Pre-ordered.

Hmm, can't wait for tomorrow. If the rumours about the DS turn out to be true, I'll import on launch for a change.. I'll make it my main MP3 player probably. And for other possible games and announcements.. Well, lets see first, then I'll get excited (or not).

Allthough I can understand some of the complaints, I can appreciate the effort, and I'm really looking foward to it. It may be a generic sci-fi FPS with some rough edges, but it's one with Wii FPS controls, and well, it's actually the only one since Metroid (if you catagorize Metroid simply as a sci-fi FPS, if not, it's actually the only one..). From watching the videos, I only see something I want to play, and I doubt I'll change my mind on this one, unless of course they do something weird like putting Teletubbies in it, or some of those other freaks you see on the BBC in the morning.. Hmm, weird thought.

I'm not familiar with the Monster Hunter games, but the concept surely sounds cool.. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

My excitement for this game has gone up and down and up again. After reading the IGN hands-on and seeing some brief gameplay footage, I'm excited yet again in this game, and I'll probably buy it, despite the on-rails shooter sections (not really a fan of those, though can't say I really dislike them either). But the sound of moving around a city which is breaking down, complete with crumbling skycrapers, does appeal to me.. I don't know, I just love apocalyptic themes like that. Movies like Cloverfield for example, where the city gest destroyed.. I think this game will have a great atmosphere.

So yeah, it'll be weird seeing the old ToS gang again when you know THEY'LL END UP DEAD in the next game.. (kidding :P (or am I??)). Anyway, great news! Allthough can't find it on the site, but then again, I don't read Japanese. All I can find is news on the DVD & Blu-ray box (bluray is great news as well!). For now I assume it's true, in which case I'm looking forward to it! Any hint as to when expect the first (or well, fifth) volume?

Got this friday together with Wario Land. Allthough Wario Land is a 2D animated piece of art, I find this game actually generally more entertaining.. Then again, I haven't played much of either game, as something came up (namely MEGAMAN 9). But yeah, the artstyle is great, cutscenes funny, gameplay relaxing, and the music.. Damn the music. Bloody fantastic, especially at the beginning of a level where you are making the music yourself with the sounds you get when you paint stuff. This game satisfies a need for platform action in a same way that a Banjo Threeie would have, at least for me.

You should really replace that word with "really". So there, I stopped it. Seriously though, I enjoyed Red Steel as well, despite some flaws. But you just know this is gonna be so much better.

Hmm, I came across it in stores, and I'd swear I saw a 'IV' on the box. Perhaps just the UK?

You didn't read his reply well enough.. Do as he said: just press "home" then "reset". It will take you to the title-screen without leaving your game and whenever you want to. Not as quick on the Cube, but not much longer to be annoying.. In fact, I prefer it this way.

I've lent Super Mario 64 to a friend. As a fellow gamer, I expected him to leave the A file alone, and well, he sweared he did, but it must have been a friend who also played the game. The file had all the stars, but all the hi-scores, well, weren't exactly high. Too bad I never bothered to finish Super Mario 64 a second time (I've tried though). That's the only incident fortunately.

Yep, loved the game too.. In those days I still rented a game from time to time, and I loved this games so much, that even after renting it twice, I still bothered to buy this game. The guy from from the rental store was even surprised I rented it twice. I had to buy it, to see the last planet I didn't visit on my run-throughs when I rented the game, Zoness, which I think may be my favourite planet. I love Macbeth also. Least favourite is Sector Z. I don't think I liked Aquas much when I first played it, but I think it just takes some time to get used too. It's the most tiring planet for me though, but gotta abuse those unlimited torpedoes . Agree on the lines, they make me chuckle every time I hear them (or somebody quotes them ). Another one to add: "Daddy screamed real good before he died" . This is also one of the few games I managed to finish 100 %, in other words all medals on normal & hard, which unlocked me the on-foot mode in multiplayer, the soundtest, the alternative titlescreen, and the hardmode obviously.. I've seen the 2 extra endingscreens in hard mode, and I've seen the alternative ending to Katina. My hi-score is a little over 1500, which isn't spectacular compared to the world rankings it seems . Last few notes on this great game: - Great collection of bosses (and the best of all Starfox games, but that's not hard to achieve unfortunately). - Best rumble experience ever.. I should buy some batteries for that thing again. - Too bad they couldn't use the Starfox title in the ehh title at that point, that's what I rented at the rental store (Japanese version in a much cooler box). - The only gripe I have with the game.. Voluntarily going to that desert planet results in the biggest goof of the game.. Somehow Slippy has been captured from right under your nose on your way over there.

Didn't know that's the case (don't think it is actually), it's showing in cinemas nevertheless, so I'm calling it a movie . And I for one, will be seeing it. It looks cool, and personally I found the clone wars and the clone wars animations to be the best things to come from the new trilogy (I hated pretty much the rest of it, I really only enjoyed part II of the movies). I do like the look and sound of this, so I'll be looking forward to it.

Forgot all about this, but I've seen it in the store today (popped out of nowhere), forgot to check the price though. Does anyone have experience with this game? IGN found it decent, it may be a nice title for my horror fix.. Fatal Frame won't be out for quite some time, and RE 5.. Well, yes. But people say it's a nice co-op title.. Any people who enjoyed this on their own?

Wait.. I forgot all about the DS version. Has it actually been released in Europe? Because I don't remember ever seeing it in stores.. I was interested in that game. This game by the way, also has my interest. I'll keep it in mind.

.. I'll kill some "babiez", then when they put me in prison, I'll tell the press Ubisoft made me do it.. That'll get their attention. They could make up for it though, by making Red Stell bloody fantastic and / or releasing the new Prince of Persia (if technically possible).

Haven't played the others in the series, but it sounds very cool, so I hope this'll get an European release. Strange those rumours though.. Not something you'd expect, Nintendo buying such a franchise.

For me personally it wasn't a problem.. If you're like me, you like to kill everything that should be killed . So yeah, to me it was obvious what had to be done. Some lovely animation by the way in this game, just adds to the artstyle, but this boss for example, it was very cool to watch him emerge. And so sweet when you've ehh "purified" him, he picks up Deo. About glitches: I've never been pushed throught the ground myself, but I had a rock disappear, which I needed for a switch (the switch was actually what made it disappear.. D'oh.). And there's the occasional framerate issue.. And not a glitch, but an oversight in my opinion, especially since the rest of the animation is great.. Toku can't simply push a rock or seed.. He just bumps into it. Actually, it's the same if you walk into a wall. Oh well, just as VC games, it's always possible to update Wiiware games. Anyway, do you get anything special for collecting every statue? Or is that spoiler material? I'm missing one. I'll come back for it later, but I'm currecntly playing Final Fantasy.

Hmm, I only own (and have played) 4, but I'm interested in the older titles, because eventhough the controls might feel clunky, they seem to be a lot scarier than 4. So, let me see if I got this straight (please correct me if I don't): There are 5 "normal" RE games, and they're all available on the Cube. In chronicle order they are 0, 1, 2, 3, and CV somewhere around.. 3? 0 is originally for the Cube and 1 has been remade entirely for the Cube, making these 2 the best on the Cube in terms of presentational quality etc. 2 and 3 haven't been remade, but are instead direct ports of the PS 1 versions, making these graphically least interesting titles. CV, being a port from the.. DC? Falls somewhere in between I assume. The games that have been enjoyed most by fans are 1, 0 and CV? Ok, if got this straight.. Which games should I add to me collection? They're all easy to find I think, but I don't think I'll buy them all, or not at once at least. Then again, the reason I'm interested is the story, of which you don't get much in part 4.Oh well, I probably should hunt down Beyond good & evil first before going after these RE games .

Hmm, I might get this, but is the Headtracking easteregg still in? I'd love to see that for myself.. Also there's a competition on the official Nintendo site, where EA's giving away Boom Blox prizes. I checked the Dutch site, but I assume it's for every country.

Hmm. Haven't kept up with the news on this one, but those screens look lovely.. They actually revive my hype for this game. I used to think I'd have an X-box by now, purely for the Rare games, but I never got one. Not even Perfect Dark could persuade me. Banjo Kazooie however, is what I've really been waiting for, and what I miss the most on Nintendo consoles. Even more than Perfect Dark, I want to keep up with the adventures of my favorite bear and bird duo, I want Banjo Threeie. I think when Banjo Threeie is released it'll probably the day I buy an X-box (and Banjo Threeie obviously).

Hmm, Nintendo site says one of the upcoming Hanabi games is Cho Aniki.. That's that very, very, very wrong shooter if I'm not mistaking? I'm so gonna download that.

Finally finished Path of Radiance and started on Radiant Dawn. I've now found out what exactly the data transfer does, and apparently it's next to useless in my case . I only have 5 characters leveled up to 20/20 unfortunately, and I don't have any A level supports. Oh well, I won't mind doing another playthrough of PoR one day . As for Radiant Dawn, well, I'm liking it so far, but not as much as Path of Radiance. Eventhough it appears the story is even more epic this time around, the way it's presented in 4 seperate chapters with it's own mini-stories, it al feels a bit hasty.. You don't get much to know about the Dawn Brigade's members, and that's why I don't really care for many of them.. Quick question, I've played through chapter 1, but I didn't use my bonus exp in the final chapter (was saving it 'till the end like PoR, but I guess this game has 4 final chapters). It's gone now, and I suppose I don't get it back even when I regain control of the Dawn Brigade? Oh well, I'm thinking of replaying chapter 1 anyway to divide the exp better.

I'm pretty crap, but I should practice the GP's more.. Have only done up 'till the 3rd cup of 100 CC. Don't even know all the shortcuts, but it's better to watch the time trial runs of the champions for tips & tricks on each track. Nice feature. But in any case, I barely managed to scrape together 1000 points (making my total around 6000). About getting disconnects and your points, I disconnected twice so far I think, one time I was expecting it, but I can't recall what it did to my points, I don't think it did anything. One time I disconnected from a friends game, or maybe they got disconnected.. I don't know their side of the story yet, so I don't know what really happened. I thought people who disconnected got replaced by AI, or was that Smash Brothers? Anyway, it was a 3 player game, 1 disappeared completely, and one other still remained, I won the race and got the points. About the tracks I choose.. I've only voted random. I think I'll keep that policy. Oh, and I have yet to try out the wheel! Haven't tried the Cube controller and nunchuck / remote combo yet either, but I find the classic very comfortable.
